Payroll Companies & Payroll Services in Wasilla, AK

Overview

Stevens Accounting Services is a CPA practice based in Wasilla, Alaska. It supports small businesses and households with payroll, bookkeeping and tax work. A local family owns and runs the firm, which opened its doors in 2016. It has since grown into a team that combines licensed certified public accountants with dedicated support staff. The firm's aim is to take recordkeeping and compliance tasks off the plate of business owners so they can concentrate on running their operations.

Payroll Services

Payroll is one of three core service lines at the firm, alongside tax and accounting work. The practice works with employers of very different sizes, from a business with a single worker up to companies with more than twenty-five staff. This includes employers whose workforce spans more than one state.

Rather than offering one fixed package, the firm shapes each payroll arrangement around the client and adjusts it as headcount and complexity increase. In every engagement, the office takes responsibility for producing the mandatory government payroll reports at both the federal and state level. That removes uncertainty for owners about whether filings were completed accurately.

• Regular payroll processing
• Quarterly payroll reporting
• Year-end payroll reporting and filings
• Required federal and state compliance reports
• Help resolving payroll tax problems
• Multi-state payroll for growing employers

Bookkeeping and Accounting

Many payroll clients also rely on the firm for day-to-day financial upkeep. Its monthly bookkeeping service records transactions and reconciles them against statements from bank and card accounts, which gives owners dependable figures for planning. The team can also report weekly bank balances so a business knows its available cash when obligations such as wages come due.

It can manage accounts payable so vendors are paid on schedule, and it can help companies that need a bookkeeping system set up from the start.

Tax Preparation and Planning

On the tax side, the firm prepares and plans returns for both individuals and companies, and it handles local sales tax filings. Clients may choose an optional one-hour, in-person meeting to go over their documents. Each return is prepared, checked using the firm's software, and reviewed by a CPA. During this process, staff can recommend changes to paycheck withholding and point out deductions that could help in later years. This step connects personal tax work with payroll.

Leadership and Approach

The practice is led by Nicole Stevens, an Alaska-licensed CPA. She earned a bachelor's degree in accounting from Southeastern University, located in Lakeland, Florida. She handles personal and corporate returns, consults with clients, and supervises all bookkeeping and payroll engagements. A lifelong Alaskan, she was born in Palmer and grew up in Wasilla.

The firm describes its staff as Alaska residents invested in seeing local businesses succeed. Prospective clients can describe their situation through the firm's website and receive a free quote for ongoing or one-time work. The office keeps weekday hours and moves to a shortened four-day schedule during the summer months.
